The larger Imp in the middle takes out a flintlock pistol and points it at Scarlet.
Person 2: Who the FUCK are you.
Then the little female imp takes out a scythe from  somewhere.
Person 1: And what do you want with my Moxxie.
The hellhound takes out a sniper and points it at Scarlet as well and growls.
Person 3: Better talk.
Scarlet just gets up and walks over to them and pushes the flintlock to the side and continues on to Moxxie.
Scarlet: It's good to see you again Big M
He then hugs him and considering that Scarlet was almost as tall as the larger imp if not taller, Moxxie went a considerable hight when he was lifted of the floor suddenly .
Moxxie stumbles a bit from the sudden movement and makes his way over to the female imp.
Person 1: Mox, who is this and why do they know you?
She said not taking her eyes off Scarlet, and still holding her scythe with one hand, the other on his shoulder.
Moxxie: Millie, this is Scarlet. He is the one who saved me last year from the Exorcists.
The female imp named Millie looks at Moxxie and then at Scarlet.
Millie: That was you?
Scarlet nods his head.
Millie rushed forward with tears in her eyes, as she grabbed Scarlet to hug him.
Millie: Tha-Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without him.
Scarlet surprised by the sudden contact quickly recovers and hugs her with one arm.
Scarlet: No problem.
The larger Imp puts away his flintlock
Person 2: So your the person who saved M? Well thanks for saving my dick, cause Millie would have absolutely removed it if Moxxie d-got hurt.
He punches Scarlet in the arm and then reals back in pain and shakes his hand.
Person 2: Wow. Solid, what do you do eat in the morning, molten steel?
Scarlet just looks at him.
Scarlet: And who might you be.
Person 2: Oh, Names Blitzø with silent O.
Scarlet: Understood, Now who's this intimidating figure.
He said looking at the hellhound and letting go of Millie, while she was looking back on her phone.
Person 3: You don't deserve to know my name.
Scarlet: "As if I didn't already know it."
Blitzø: She is my loonie toonie , and she is my daughter.
Loonie: Only on paper, and it's Loona.
Scarlet: Nice to meet you.
Loona: I bet it is ( She say while she rolls her eyes. And looks back on her phone and walks back to her desk.)
Scarlet: And what does that mean.
Loona: You know.
Blitzø: She just hasn't had her drinks today because someone forgot to get them from the store, YOU BABY DICK PERV.
He says the last part while looking at moxie.
(Scarlet: "If only he knew.") (Remember Elder god and knowledge that comes with it)
Moxxie: She is not my responsibility. She is grown up and can look after herself infact I believe you should MAKE her do some deliveries it might teach her a les...
Loona: SHUT UP FATTY. Look at this guys.
Loona turns her computer and shows them the news that is taking place.

NEWS REPORTER: While it is nothing new for a new person to be murdered in hell, the way this way was done is truly shocking. I mean shit what did they do to deserve this.
The camera pans and everyone's eyes widens. What was shown was essentially what was something or someone but now they were little more than a splat. What that means is that the person now was a puddle staining the floor and wall with bone shrapnel imbedded in the wall. Oddly enough it looks like it was from one of direction.
———————————————————————
They sit their in shock and horror
Blitzø: What the FUCK happened to them. Did they get hit by a Semi (truck).
Moxxie recovers first and leans back and looks at Scarlet.
Scarlet transforms his hand into massive hand with long claws reaching at least 4 inches long on fingers that were 8 inches or longer, and puts a claw to his lips in a Shushing motion before shifting it back
Moxxie just nods and looks back at the screen.
—————————FLASHBACK————————
Scarlet: Excuse me my good fellow could you point me to this building.
He says while taking out a picture of the IMP building.
The Imp takes the cigar out of his mouth and crushes it under his heel.
Imp: Sure I can, right after you hand me your MONEY.
He takes out a knife and places it so that he can Scarlet sees the entire blade
Scarlet: No
He says dismissively
Imp: No? Do you not see the knife. Listen buddy, you do not want to mess with me I know some very powerful people in this city. So  hand over the money or I'll...
(SQUISH)
The imp is suddenly all but vaporized, only leaving behind a puddle that looked like a very gore laden piece of street graffiti with bits of bone jammed  into the wall. all without SK moving at all.
SK moves on with smile while humming and moves out not forgetting to pick up the knife and toss it in the bin the previous Imp was leaning against. He continues out the alley and then walk down the road and spots the IMP building in the distance.
Scarlet: Such an ambitious fellow.
———————————————————————
Moxxie: And how exactly would they fit a Semi down there.
Blitzø: And what is your brilliant idea, let me guess, some hyper powerful sinner just came around and decided to kill that one guy and then moved on without trying to make a show of it. We're not in Pentagram city.
Moxxie: "That's closer than you realize." Well at least that's more believable than a SEMI TRUCK fitting down that street.
Blitzø: Yah and we're in the same room as GOD.
Moxxie: " A God, but close enough."
Millie: Speaking of strangers,(looks over to Scarlet) what are you doing here?
Scarlet: "Entertainment" Well I'm here to see an old friend I haven't seen him in over a year and wanted to see him and his job "Well that's not a lie either"
Blitzø: Well, I don't know how your going to that were really busy. And Moxxie can't take off. The only way you could spend time is if you worked here. Ha as if you would acce...
Scarlet: Ok
Blitzø just blinks a couple of times.
Loona: Wait, that easy, I mean, you're rich.
Scarlet: And how would you know that.
Loona looks at his attire and gives him a deadpan expression.
Scarlet: (Looks down) Oh right.
Blitzø: Well that's great expect payment to take a few weeks though.
Scarlet: Oh I don't need to be paid. In exchange, however, I will take any time off I please. No questions asked.
Blitzø looks for a second.
Blitzø: Aw, what the heck. Put it there.
Blitzø extends his hand Scarlet smiles and shakes his hand. To everyone else it looked like a normal handshake. But to Moxxie he saw the magic surround them and spread through the room and he knew, Blitzø had just made a deal with Scarlet .
Moxxie: "At least this time he has to keep his end of the promise."
Scarlet: Well it  seems to be getting quite late I guess I shall retire for now and meet with you all tomorrow. Don't forget Moxxie we have a meeting on Sunday.
Moxxie: Right. See you tomorrow I guess.
Scarlet: Hey next week is spring break, am I right?
Blitzø: Yes, it also one of the busiest weeks of our year, and contains some of our busiest days.
Scarlet: And what is your busiest.
Blitzø shivers
Blitzø: Black Friday.
Stares for a moment
Scarlet: Fair enough.
He then turns and walks out the door. And walks down the hall before Loona goes in to the hallway and calls him.
Loona: Hey where do you live.
Scarlet: That's a strange way to ask me out.
Loona: HA! You wish. No, dad will just want to pick you up in the morning and I might as well get it. Before he has a panic attack.
Scarlet: I won't tell you where I live but you can pick me up at (RANDOM LOCATION).
Loona: Whatever. By the way be ready to be at work by 10:30.
Scarlet: That seems quite late.
Loona: Yah, well I have hangovers so get used to it.
Scarlet: Will do have a great day M'lady.
He says with a bow.
Loona roles her eyes.
Loona: Weirdo.
She turns around and walks back though she looks back to Scarlet only to see him gone.
Loona: "Damn. Faster than he looks."
She heads back in to meet with the others who still were asking Moxxie about Scarlet.
